Along the river path, they traveled upstream.
The Unihorned Rhinoceros soon reached the vicinity of the Mountain God Reservoir.
Especially noticeable in its line of sight was the gigantic shrine standing prominently nearby.
"You've actually come?"
"I thought I'd have to send my children to fetch you?"
With a gentle voice, the mountain reservoir suddenly rippled with waves.
The next moment, a gigantic Human-faced Fish slowly emerged from the water, casting a curious gaze at the Unihorned Rhinoceros and the Ginseng Doll on its back.
This gigantic Human-faced Fish was none other than the queen of Human-faced Fish—Red Fish.
Compared to a few years ago, Red Fish hadn't grown any larger, but her body appeared exceptionally agile.
Especially the human face on her back, which perfectly fit the mountain people's definition of a "Goddess."
Gentle, compassionate, yet still strong...
"Ahem, you should have called me sooner."
